Replacing a radiator in a 1965 Impala.

[@robertdennis1969]

At the beginning I was thinking "Just pop off the tank brackets and swap them?!?!" And then you proceeded to do just that!! So glad you did this, a good reminder that (at one time) individual sub-components were meant to be serviced and rebuilt, not just swapped and thrown away. I'm not knocking modern cars, just remembering a different time with different thinking and different economic realities.

A thinking man always has a plan! Awesome,awesome lesson from start to finish! I just got my radiator delivered today for my '68 Impala and this is just what I needed for any install issues that might pop up. Thanks for sharing👊✌And the outtakes are hilarious!

[@davidcherylbarch2802]

Excellent job Barry! You always make things look easy and explain the steps you take where anyone can understand! So that we all can take on projects like this and succeed! Big thumbs up!

[@thomasbutler5039]

I have a 65 Impala and this video was spot on to what I’m doing today! Thanks.

[@forty6andtwofan]

I have never seen this type of repair before Barry. Love learning new stuff. Thanks so much for this.

[@richhanan218]

Great job Barry. It's your attention to details that makes you great.

[@cornellwarren4898]

Man U did a good job and that was a bright idea. I blew thru mines I thought it was welded on . I didn’t even have a lot of heat on it,but good job!

[@leonardwalters154]

Great job! Ingenious mod to make a repop part to work in an original car to keep the look!

[@johneverson354]

Wow , looking at that engine takes me back to a time when you had lots of room to work on you engine and you didn't need a Phd in mechanical engineering

OER makes repro rads with the correctly built frame, but the top tank isn't embossed "Harrison", and there's no part number stamped on the frame of course. I don't see finger guards on their non-shroud application rads, or drain hose clips either. Classic Industries among other big box parts houses sells OER. I have an original Harrison rad for a 283 2V w/ PG & w/o AC stamped with the "3002303" part number. It has a finger guard, and the drain petcock is on the underside of the tank unlike the OER that has the petcock on the rear face like the trans fittings. Long story short, my original gets re-cored because repro is close, but no cigar

[@geyser3445]

Nice job. This is much easier than the other stuff you do on the Mustang.

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

Good video made it look easy good thinking on how to reinstall the bracket thumbs up.

[@dreamingcode]

Really good! I have a 1969 4 door and im learning how to fix it

[@estpst]

I liked hearing the bracket popping off!

[@Alex-kb2si]

What can I say , great job mate. Good quality work.

[@earlsmithson4749]

Man, I love those outtakes. Good job on the rad also.

[@kennethstaszak9990]

When adding the teflon tape flip the roll upside down from the way you did it. It's easier to hold tension on the tape as its being wrapped around the fitting. Otherwise a topnotch job.

[@djoham]

Love your videos - I learn something new almost every time. Thanks!

[@harolddaniels1887]

Nice job, and as you noticed 16mm is just about 5/8th , 5/8 is around 15.9 mm

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Oddly enough, the 5/8" wouldn't fit. I tried that first.

[@rickywilliams4904]

That was awesome. Learned a new trick today for me. Thanks & great video. :👍👍

[@dayslife]

Nicely done.now it's good as OEM.

[@RJ-ds6zo]

That was satisfying to watch😎 Nice job😃

[@brianhodge839]

Nice work! Really enjoyed watching you do this. I need to replace the one in my 61 but plan on adding AC. I wonder if this radiator would handle AC or if it would overheat?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Usually the A/C cars had a thicker radiator.

[@jimwhalen6769]

The spacer is in place of the AC condensor.

[@jeffklein4727]

i believe what you did is exactly what the other shop did, by the evidence of solder on the bottom of the old tank and the spliced transmission lines

[@JamesAutoDude]

I've heard the easiest way is just to switch to electric fans and get rid of the mechanical fan but looking at this, idk how those would mount either lol

[@eddie2046]

Great job ! Where can I buy a reproduction radiator like that one ?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I bought through Advance Auto parts. I think they got it through 1800radiator. Not sure though.

[@eddie2046]

@@JoDaddysGarage Thanks for the info

[@greggkuzila7513]
